I've used the gallon jug Brita water filters before. We lived in town and it was very chlorinated and yucky tasting. It really made a big difference. _Sky, I realize a gallon is too much for you to lift, I'm just endorsing that the inexpensive home filtration devices really do work well.

I've lost 10 pounds in 4-1/2 weeks. All of the weight I put on since my daughter started her weight-gaining diet is GONE!! I'll be the first to say totally changing your eating style is NOT easy, but the results are well worth it. If I don't stick to pre-proportioned meals and writing down everything I eat every day, it would be really easy to slip back into over eating. I really want to prevent weight-related health problems as much as possible.
